The premieres will take place on June 17 and June 18 – they will be the last performances of this season, which will also close the 115th season of Liepāja Theater.
“The Queen of Beauty” was written in 1996 and is the first play by Irish playwright Martin McDon, a British descendant. McDon is currently one of the brightest contemporary playwrights, having won numerous awards, and is the screenwriter and director of several Academy Award-winning films, such as Three Announcements at Ebing, Missouri, etc.
